Installing the Starter

Starter motor mount, Yamaha Road Star

 

Now lubricate the O-ring on the new starter with a bit of engine oil. Then using both hands again, slide the starter into the engine housing. Wiggle the starter as you go, to help the starter gear engage with the engine gears.

As the O-ring nears its ‘home’, it will become tight again. You can stop pushing at this point. Then insert the two mounting bolts into the starter mount, and torque them to 7.2 ft-lbs. The starter O-ring seal will be pushed ‘home’ as you tighten the mounting bolts.
